TiVo Connects to TiVo Service Okay but does not see other Newtworked TiVo's

Hi Everyone,

The right place to post I hope.

I have 6 TiVo's networked in the household and all have been working fine for ages. Today one has decided to play up and although it connects okay to the TiVo service and download the guide etc okay (ie: picks up IP address okay), it refuses to see the other 5 TiVo's on the network (and vice versa). I have done the usual re-boot of the problem TiVo, re-booted my router and re-booted (in desperation) the other 5, to no avail.

Hi David, am I correct in saying that the M.A.K needs to be the same on each Tivo? I currently have one modded and one not modded, they were connected (you could see the other in "Now Playing" and vice versa).
I now can see the Tivo's but there's nothing to play? Also, one of the Tivo's name has reverted back to the original name?? Thanks, Ross

I'm also having this problem which only started a couple of days ago. Both modded tivos which could see and transfer between each other can no longer do so. They appear to have lost their names (eg one is now call "DVR-4518 Media Device") and when selecting it from the other tivo it says it has no recordings. Both have MAKs which are the same and both were previously able to see and transfer recordings until recently.

Same problem here. For the first week after mods, everything was fine.
This started happening to me about 2 weeks ago.

EDIT: I should have noted that I have NOT done a C&DE on either TiVo. Only a RGS, CTR&S and CPI&TDL was performed on both.

Thought I'd confirm a couple of things. The MAK's are the same. The name change is only the modded unit. They originally were able to access and copy from each other. (not 100% that this was pre or post mod).
